Exploring luminescence-based temperature sensing using protein-passivated gold nanoclusters.
We explore the analytical performance and limitations of optically monitoring aqueous-phase temperature using protein-protected gold nanoclusters (AuNCs). Although not reported elsewhere, we find that these bio-passivated AuNCs show pronounced hysteresis upon thermal cycling. This unwanted behaviour can be eliminated by several strategies, including sol-gel coating and thermal denaturation of t...
متن کاملOptical properties of passivated silicon nanoclusters: the role of synthesis.
The effect of preparation conditions on the structural and optical properties of silicon nanoparticles is investigated. Nanoscale reconstructions, unique to curved nanosurfaces, are presented for silicon nanocrystals and shown to have lower energy and larger optical gaps than bulk-derived structures. We find that high-temperature synthesis processes can produce metastable noncrystalline nanostr...
متن کاملCatalysis by Supported Gold Nanoclusters
The physical and chemical properties of supported Au clusters are markedly sensitive to cluster size and morphology. To investigate the origin of the unique properties of nanosized Au clusters, model catalysts consisting of Au clusters of varying sizes have been prepared on single crystal TiO2(110) and ultrathin films of single crystalline TiO2, SiO2, and Al2O3. The morphology, electronic struc...
متن کاملConstruction of multilayers of bare and Pd modified gold nanoclusters and their electrocatalytic properties for oxygen reduction.
Multilayers of gold nanoclusters (GNCs) coated with a thin Pd layer were constructed using GNCs modified with self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of mercaptoundecanoic acid and a polyallylamine hydrochloride (PAH) multilayer assembly, which has been reported to act as a three-dimensional electrode. SAMs were removed from GNCs by electrochemical anodic decomposition and then a small amount of Pd wa...
متن کاملChirality transfer in nematic liquid crystals doped with (S)-naproxen- functionalized gold nanoclusters: an induced circular dichroism study{
In a recent study, we found that nematic liquid crystals (N-LCs) doped with chiral (S)-naproxenfunctionalized dodecane thiolate protected gold nanoclusters (Au2, Au3) or non-chiral alkyl thiolate protected Au clusters (Au1) produce thin film textures with characteristic uniform stripe patterns separated by areas of homeotropic alignment. While these textures closely resemble textures commonly o...
